Let's talk about a well...that's a pretty deep subject, ha! (couldn't resist)
Yes, we have a well, they came and drilled and completed it over a couple of days last week.
Here is a picture of the process...they arrived Thursday morning and started digging and drilling.
They came back Friday and installed the equipment and this is what it looked like when they were done!
Amazing how it was a mess of mud and water one day and back to perfectly normal the next.
Here is a picture to give you some perspective of it in relation to the house. This is the outdoor kitchen porch, standing outside of the back garage door.
The site manager reminded us to be careful, they have a live wire running from the temporary power pole to the well to supply power. This will only be until they get it hooked up to the house power and then they will run the permanent line to the well. He said "don't mow over it". Trust me, I will avoid that area like the plague.
This is the other direction looking back toward the house. They ended up going down to 260' deep. They hit potable water at about 175', but wanted to go deeper to get really good, clean water and of course, lessen the risk of issues with future low water levels during any drought periods.
We also want to get a well house or shed over the top and have reached out to a couple of places that can do this. We have to wait until the power is permanent and they don't need regular access so we still have a bit of time for that.
A water test was done and it was good to go. We'll do another one in a couple of weeks but for now...
